A large-scale giraffe decal is a great addition to a child's room. It's playful, colorful and fun. And since it's a decal, it's temporary. It will last as long as you want it to decorate the space and then easily peel off when you're ready to transform the room.
Here's another way that a giraffe on the wall can work in a kid's room. I like how its light color is patterned against a boldly painted wall.
Take that giraffe off of the wall and install it in the nursery in 3d form. How fun to have huge stuffed animals decorating your child's room and looking after him in his sleep.
Decals or wall paintings of giraffes don't need to be limited to kids' rooms. Paired with chic modern furniture and set against a solid white wall, they can give an exotic feel to an adult's room.
You might not even notice the giraffes at first glance in this room but look more closely at those lamps on the wall. That's right, they're giraffes! Although used in a kids' room here, they could work well in any space in the house.
How bold do you have to be to put a large giraffe statue in your living room? It works here because the room is large enough as well as tall enough. It also works because of the fact that the other furnishings here are also inspired by world travels and trends.
Knick knacks are a simple way to introduce a new design idea into your home. This simple little giraffe is easy to incorporate into your existing design as you start to play around with the animal theme.
Hold giraffe statuettes stand out a bit more than white knick knacks do. Admittedly, what I really love here is the way that white, gold and yellow are scattered in a neat design on this wall bookcase.
The giraffe design works great for a rug. It's warm and cozy and the colors can work with many other colors in a room.

We've picked up a few samples of tiles for our pool remodel and love a few dark blue high gloss tiles. My worry is that they will be on a 24" tall wall (from water line going up) along the back of the pool that faces west. It will get full sun shining against it from about 2pm-sunset. Is the glare from the sun going to be blinding? |

Laura has an impossibly large plate of impossibly good chicken curry, comfort food in this weird realm that has become her life. The curry is bright yellow like French's mustard and thick, coating the pieces of white meat and potatoes and gumming up the white rice she pours it over. Of course, the potatoes are underdone and the broccoli is sulfurous and sour from overcooking and incomplete shocking, but these are easily avoided.
I eat the last of the curry hours later, standing in the puddle of light cast by the open refrigerator door and picking through the to-go box with my fingers. If anything, the curry has gotten better.
Late on Saturday afternoon, I decide that I must to go back to Vietnam House to see the show.
Vietnamese egg rolls: $4.50
Appetizer platter: $29.95
paste: $14.95
Pho dac biet (with
everything): $7.95
Chicken rice soup:
Tamarind crab: $29.95
Lobster: $29.95
Curry chicken: $8.95
"But you don't like live music at restaurants," Laura reminds me.
I get there early, but the parking lot is already filling up. I sit in a booth near the door, with a good view of the stage over the tops of other customers' heads, and order beer: ice-cold Chinese Tsingtao rather than Vietnamese 33, because I don't like the vaguely formaldehyde aftertaste of 33. I'm hungry, so I order chao ga -- chicken-and-rice soup threaded with shavings of lemongrass and slices of ginger and golden-brown flakes of fried onion. The broth is viscous, almost like a starchy porridge, with freckles of black pepper and shreds of chicken suspended in it. Like a savage, I add Sriracha, winding laces of the bright-red chile sauce through the soup. The wicked kick of the Sriracha, the smoothness of the bland soup punctuated by the electric shock of biting down on a stick of lemongrass, the sparkle of the black pepper and the cold beer are a perfect combination. I settle into a cocoon of culinary happiness.
The band is setting up, and the hostess is now sitting at a table by the door. Three security guards mill around: big guys with pepper spray and holstered automatic pistols on their belts, the lines of bulletproof vests showing through their starched shirts. As each new party comes through the door, everyone's told to show ID, to pay a cover, to stand for a pat-down and a wanding by the efficient guards. There are gorgeous, tall Asian women in gowns and diamonds, wild-haired club kids in giant mirrored sunglasses, and five-foot tall gangsters with shaved heads and neck tattoos accompanying men wearing suits that probably cost what I make in a month.
I dig into my soup again. It's a huge bowl, but I am thorough. When I flag down my waitress for another beer, she spills it in my lap. The bottle is still three-quarters full, but she brings me a fresh one.
In the corner, two old women lounge in their chairs and drink tea. Across from me, a table of four devours an order of Dungeness crabs in red-black tamarind sauce. A waitress puts away all the menus and sets the tables with little cards offering $4 beers and $200 bottle service. On stage, one of the musicians is dry-humping a keyboard shaped like a guitar -- a key-tar, white plastic, probably with Huey Lewis's fingerprints still all over it.
I step out onto the patio for a cigarette. One of the security guards follows me out.
"So, is it always like this on Saturdays?" I ask.
"What do you mean? You ever been here before?"
"Yeah, but not for the entertainment."
He nods. "Sometimes it's like this, sometimes it's quiet. But this guy tonight? He's idolized. He's like the Southeast Asian Elvis."
He nods again, watches a car roll slowly through the lot. "Should be wild."
As I go back in, the lights go down. Somebody cranks up the radio -- club mixes with pounding beats -- and Vietnam House is suddenly Denver's answer to Saigon after dark and Saigon's version of the Boogaloo Room, Vegas '74. The band starts warming up in front of a backdrop luminous with Day-Glo colors and sparkles. It's a six-piece with a horn section that kicks into cool, swingtime instrumental jazz. The waitress takes my bowl away. I tell her I can move to the bar, free up a booth for the newcomers. But she says no, stay, be comfortable, and brings me another drink.
When Vietnamese Elvis bounces onto the stage from behind a screen, I realize that I was wrong. He's all man, although still sporting the unusual conglomeration of facial hair. The crowd lets out a collective gasp, and then he's on, choking the mike stand and belting out soaring love ballads while the band struggles to keep its timing together. He has stage presence like you wouldn't believe, working the apron like Mel Torme on two hits of ecstasy, with his rock-star hair and his shirt unbuttoned, his brown leather jacket, hip-hugger white twill pants and ball cleavage.
A couple gets up to dance, working through a slow pattern of formal ballroom steps. Cell-phone camera flashes wink everywhere. Vietnamese Elvis puts his head down, does a little Axl Rose dance, hits a warbling high note to restrained applause and whistles, then swings into what I swear to Christ sounds like a soft-jazz cover of "Ricky Don't Lose That Number," by Steely Dan. In Vietnamese.

Backpacking in Utah can mean standing atop a 13,000 foot mountaintop staring out over alpine lakes and dense forests of pine and aspen thousands of feet below. It can also mean trekking in a stream with water shoes through a mystical desert canyon, periodic swim breaks beneath beautiful waterfalls, walking through natural bridges, and wondering what life must have been like for the Anasazi who lived here a thousand years ago.
There is no more varied place on earth to backpack. To begin such an adventure in Utah, to step into its thousands of miles of wilderness, can be an extremely cathartic experience. The season can determine whether you choose to head for the mountains, make a pilgrimage to the desert, or both. More than 70 percent of Utah is public land: five National Parks, nine million acres of National Forest, millions of acres belong to the National Monuments and National Recreation Areas, and 42 percent of Utah is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. That adds up to unbelievable choices for backpacking that would take more than a lifetime to complete.
Regardless of where you choose to hike, be cautious. Never hike alone, always tell your friends and family where you are going and when you plan to return. Always carry plenty of water in both the deserts and mountains. Bring a first-aid kit and a water filter. Be prepared to be truly self-reliant. It's a good idea to take more food and water than you think you'll need in the event you become stranded. Most importantly, have a safe, fun, and rewarding experience.
Many professional guides offer hiking treks throughout Utah, including National Parks and Wilderness Areas.

Fifty years after the androgynous-looking method-style actor appeared in Rebel without a Cause, James Dean's taste for speed still resonates in popular culture. We're wearing his red jacket and his bad attitude whenever we see a sports car today and ask ourselves, "Is this car cool enough, tough enough, fast enough? Would James Dean drive this car?"
The Porsche Boxster always has had a built-in edge in the James Dean test, because its 1950s-style retro look is meant to recall the Porsche 550 Spyder the actor drove in 1955. The Boxster's direct, quick responses have commanded our respect from the first, and its speed has improved markedly in the second-generation car. The Boxster is an authentic sports car, the kind of car Dean would drive.
Other retro-look roadsters have not been so lucky, and the Mercedes-Benz SLK is a case in point. From the beginning, this car has struggled to overcome its concept-car novelty. Now, the second-generation SLK marks a focused effort by Mercedes-Benz finally to establish the SLK as a sports-car franchise. So we had no choice but to put the SLK to the James Dean test.
We brought the Boxster and the SLK together at 1219 North Vine Street in Hollywood, the place where Dean began his last drive on September 30, 1955. Then it was the site of the service shop for Competition Motors, a Porsche and Volkswagen dealership. It was a Friday, and mechanic Rolf Wtherich spent the morning preparing Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder for a race that Sunday at the airport in Salinas, some 300 miles away near Monterey. These days, the old shop has a derelict Goodyear tire store at one end and a Mexican grocery at the other. There's a curious faded glamour to the spot, and you can look up Vine Street to the hills and catch a glimpse of the famous sign that proclaims "Hollywood."
The Boxster and the SLK also have some glamour of their own. The second-generation Boxster has slightly more muscular proportions; it now looks like a genuine statement of style, not just a bite-size fashionista. Meanwhile, the Italianate lines of the current design idiom at Mercedes-Benz have come to the SLK at last, and the car looks provocative in profile, especially in the BMW-like interplay of surfaces in the doors. But once you walk around to the front, it looks as if it's wearing an SL mask from a costume shop.
Dean and Wtherich left Hollywood in the 550 Spyder (serial number 550-0055) at about 1:45 p.m. and drove on surface streets to Castaic, where U.S. 99 began its climb over the mountains to Bakersfield, and stopped for a milk shake at Tip's, a local diner.
We drove the choppy concrete of Interstate 5, which overlies the old route into the mountains. Both the Boxster and the SLK ride very well on the freeway, despite compact wheelbase dimensions. As you'd expect, the Mercedes-Benz feels locked into the road, as if it has supernatural stability. The Porsche is livelier, yet it never stings you on broken pavement the way the first-generation Boxster did.
The SLK's hard top makes long-distance travel a luxurious experience, effectively sealing out the elements while creating an environment quiet enough to appreciate the audio system (the CD player is still in the glove box, though). The Boxster's new, three-layer soft top makes it almost as quiet, but its audio system doesn't quite measure up. Both cars have decent cup holders at last, and there's enough cargo space in the center console and door pockets for your stuff. If only there were more room for people. These cars are still short-coupled and narrow, and efforts to carve out a bit more room for the drivers have been only modestly successful. Thanks to its new tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel (like that of the SLK), the Porsche's driving position is the more spacious of these two cars.
When Dean came down the steep, four-lane Grapevine grade from the mountains to the floor of the San Joaquin Valley on old U.S. 99, an officer from the California Highway Patrol gave him a ticket, and the CHP still patrols this stretch of highway very intensely. To follow Dean's route, we continued on U.S. 99 through Bakersfield, then made the exit for California Highway 46 at Famosa. There's not much out there in the agricultural belt, and Dean ran the 550 Spyder to 100 mph on his way west.

Civility Project
At Georgia Military College it is our intention that every campus and every classroom be an island of civility where staff and faculty members set examples of fair-minded, respectful, sensitive, caring, tolerant, and cooperative behavior--and students practice it.
Our classrooms must always be places where competing ideas, opposing ideologies, moral dilemmas of all descriptions, and cultural differences are appreciated, given a fair hearing, studied, discussed, and debated rationally and civilly.
To this end, one of our principal character development and educational goals is to create a classroom environment in which students are given many opportunities to practice "civil" discourse in the presence of differing views and thereby learn to speak civilly to each other, work through disagreements, treat each other with respect, and avoid the absolutism and demonization that too often accompanies polarization.
There are undoubtedly many ways to go about creating such an environment. Gary Pavela, editor of Synfax Weekly Report, offered the following advice in the November 8, 2004 edition of Synfax:
- Students need to see civility as an acquired skill. It requires careful thinking and habituation, stimulated by good example. Administrators can help by arranging debates about controversial issues between faculty colleagues known for their emotional intelligence. Part of the discussion should include analysis of ways to examine polarizing issues in the spirit of truth seeking rather than confrontation.
In aid of further developing Pavela's last point, faculty and students are urged to visit Christian Science Monitor's "Public Conversations Project: Constructive Conversations that Reach Across Differences," a web site, ...which promotes constructive conversations and relationships among people who have differing values, world views, and perspectives about divisive public issues.
Of special value to faculty and students is the section of the Christian Science Monitor web site entitled "Bridging US Political Divides," that offers readers tools for learning how to engage in "one-on-one constructive conversation" and how to make "hard conversations work." There readers will also find access to ten Monitor articles on the general subject of civility around which any number of instructive classroom assignments and discussions can be organized.

Laas (Italian: Lasa) is a comune (municipality) in the province of South Tyrol in northern Italy, located about 50 kilometres (31 mi) west of the city of Bolzano.
As of 30 November 2010, it had a population of 3,983 and an area of 110.1 square kilometres (42.5 sq mi).[1]
The municipality of Laas contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Allitz (Alliz), Eyrs (Oris), Tanas, and Tschengls (Cengles).
Laas (Lasa) borders the following municipalities: Mals, Martell, Prad, Schlanders, Schluderns, and Stilfs.
Laas is known for the pure white marble quarried in the mountains south of the village which has been used in buildings world-wide, including the Victoria Memorial, London.
Laas stands on one of the largest conical debris fans in the Alps, known as Gadriamure, which emerges from the narrow valley above the village of Allitz. This fan may be of catastrophic origin, with the collapse of a mountain above the present Gadriatal. The fan blocks the main valley Vinschgau and displaces the River Etsch to its south edge, where it is cut by a gorge which revealed buried logs 7300 years old. The fan now supports irrigated fruit orchards.
The emblem is a gules hammer and two bits, on argent with sable stripes. The white and black symbolizes the layers of marble, the hammer and the bits the tools for its processing.[2]
Linguistic distribution[edit]
According to the 2011 census, 98.09% of the population speak German, 1.67% Italian and 0.4% Ladin as first language.[3]

Description This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/770,648, filed Jun. 28, 2007, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/633,872, filed Dec. 4, 2006. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/770,648, filed Jun. 28, 2007; U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/633,872, filed Dec. 4, 2006; and patent application Ser. No. 10/953,174, filed Sep. 28, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,145,165, are hereby incorporated by reference. The present invention pertains to sensors and particularly to cavity ring down sensors. More particularly, the invention pertains to the structure of the sensors. The invention is a cavity ring down sensor having a fiber optic element coupled at a normal to a surface of the input mirror of the cavity of the sensor. The present invention may permit a fiber optic element to be easily mounted to a mirror so that light can be injected into the CRDS cavity from an external laser. This appears particularly important for the case of a CRDS system mounted in, for instance, a two inch well head with little room for the fiber to bend. Also the invention may provide an ability to fine tune the system so that the light from the fiber can be optimized in the cavity. Two substrates of different materials may be mounted against each other with their common face at an angle relative to the normal to the mounting axis. The angle between the two substrates may be defined by the indices of the materials and be chosen so that light normal to the mounting axis and delivered along this axis by the fiber element is refracted into the cavity at an angle that is one of the beam leg directions. This approach may couple the light into the cavity efficiently. The inner element (for instance, having SiO2) may be optically sealed to the block. The second element (for instance, having Si) may be allowed to translate across the surface of the SiO2 substrate thus providing fine tuning for the position of the fiber which is mounted to the backside of the Si substrate. For optimal performance, the external surfaces should be coated with an antireflection coating. The mirror may be attached to the CRDS cavity so that light is made to enter the cavity. The position of the wedge to which the fiber is attached may be fine tuned for a maximum fluence into the CRDS cavity. Once achieved, the whole device can be potted to lock in the fine tuned position if desired. For ground water measurements, the block may be lowered into a well, the block being in a liquid water tight chamber. Vapors from the water may be transmitted through a membrane into the cavity where they are absorbed if the proper wavelength is put into the cavity. The use of this wedge mirror assembly may permit the fiber input to be normal to the CRDS cavity. This mirror should be transmissive and so the inner element made of SiO2 may be either a curve or a flat as opposed to one with a transducer mounted on it for tunability. This system may work for wavelengths where both Si and SiO2 transmit the input radiation. An SWIR band between 1.5 and 2.0 microns may be one of the wavelength ranges of input radiation where the gases have significant absorption. As shown in There may be fast trace gas impurity measurements of critical molecules such as trichloroethylene (TCE), dichloroethylene (DCE), H2O, CO, NH3, HF, HCl, CH4 and C2H2. Such measurements may be made in seconds. Trace moisture concentration may be measured at levels from parts per billion (ppb) to parts per trillion (ppt). Tunnel laser 61 may send a continuous wave (or possibly pulsed) light signal to cell 62. Signal 64 may be regarded as a signal 66 that is reflected around in cell 62 from mirror 71, to mirror 72, to mirror 73, to mirror 71 and so on until the signal 66 diminishes. Some light 65 may leave cell 62 and impinge detector 67. Detector 67 may convert light signal 65 to an electrical signal 68 that goes to a data acquisition and analysis unit 69. Control electronics 74 may send control signals 75, 76 and 77 to tunable laser 61, detector 65 and data acquisition and analysis unit 69, respectively. Also, a control signal 90 may be sent to a moveable support 79 of mirror 72 to provide tenability of the path for light 66. Support 79 may be a piezoelectric transducer to allow tuning and modulation of the path length of cell 62. One may detect a certain fluid using a laser tuned on a transition band, near a particular frequency. A fluid may be a gas or liquid. Using system 62, one may be able to measure the concentration of the fluid in some medium. The certain fluid and associated medium may enter a port 78 and exit a port 79. Port 81 may be for a connection to a pump. Port 82 may be used for a gauge. One or more hollow optical fibers to and from the ring cavity may be used provide gas to take gas from the ring cavity. The gas may be compartmentalized in the cavity with Brewster windows. The system 60 may provide for an intrinsic measure of absorption. The CRDS sensitivity may equal
The system 62 may be built on the strengths of a MEMS etalon, various laser system technologies and VCSELs. A laser gyroscope cavity may be used as a ring-down cavity. At the corners of cavity 711, there may be mirrors 716, 717 and 718. Mirror 716 may partially reflect light 713 in the cavity so that detector 715 may detect some light in the cavity for analysis purposes. On mirror 716 may have a small hole for input and output for light 713. In this case, the mirror 716 may be fully reflective. Detection of light 713 may note intensity versus time, frequency, and other parameters as desired. The output of the detector or monitor 715 may go to a data acquisition and analysis circuit 719 for such things as acquisition, analysis and other purposes for obtaining information about a sample fluid in the cavity 711. One purpose may be for tuning the laser 712 to an adsorption line of the sample. The detector output to the readout and control electronics 721 may be improved with a dual JFET amplifier. Other circuits may be utilized for detector output processing. Readout and control electronics 721 may provide an excitation and control for light source 712. Inputs and outputs may be provided to and from a processor 722 relative to connections between the processor 722 and readout and control electronics 721 and data acquisition and analysis circuit 719. Processor 722 may also be connected to the outside 723 signals going in and out of system 710. A user interface may be effected with the readout and control electronics 721 and/or the outside 723. Readout and control electronics 721, data acquisition and analysis circuit 719, and processor 722 may constitute an electronics module 724. Electronics module 724 may have other components. Ports 725 may provide for input and output of a sample fluid to and from the cavity 711. A mirror mounting device 310 and approach for beam path alignment of a system 312 are illustrated generally in As seen in As seen in Trace gas detection and identification with very high sensitivity may be achieved using cavity-ring-down technique implemented with ring-laser gyro fabrication and alignment technology in order to achieve cost-effective producibility. The advantages of adapting ring laser gyro fabrication methods (laser block, mirror fab, attachment, and alignment, and so forth) may achieve a cost-effective system for cavity-ring-down gas detection. The present system has an approach for coupling light into and out of the ring cavity. In particular, the approach provides for directing light incident from the source normally onto the optical input port of the ring cavity in order to facilitate alignment of the source to cavity, and then interposing a prism coupling module to direct the light into the ring cavity. A variation of this approach includes a modification of the coupling prism introduced before the optical input port so as to also couple light in the cavity to an external detector, thus allowing the same cavity port to be both an input and output port without return light being fed back into the source. A light conveyance mechanism or channel or an optical fiber 101 may convey light into cavity 103 via the interface 104 and mirror 107. If situated appropriately on surface 113, light conveyance mechanism 101 may convey light out of cavity 103 via mirror 107 and interface 104. Or light may exit the cavity to a light detector 114 with an electrical signal indicating a light signal on a conductor 116. For an illustrative example, optical fiber may be situated with an end optically in contact with portion 109 via surface 113. The core of the fiber 101 conveying the line may be parallel to a normal of surface 113 or perpendicular to surface 113. Also, a light beam 115 may be perpendicular to surface 113 as it enters portion 109 and go straight to portion interface 111. At interface 111, light beam 115 may deviate from the straight path and head in another direction due to a different index of refraction of portion 105 relative to the index of portion 109. The path of light 115 may be calculated with Snell's law, n1 sin θ1=n2 sin θ2. Light 115 may again be refracted as it enters cavity 103. The index of refraction may be regarded as the same as air. The path of light 115 may be determined with certain dimensions of portions 105 and 109, among other parameters and factors, including the indices of refraction of the materials traversed by light 115. The surfaces 113 and 112 and mirror 107 may be designed to be parallel; however, other approaches may be implemented. Examples of materials for portions 105 and 109 may include fused silica and silicon, respectively. The silica may have an index n of about 1.46. Silicon may have an index n of about 3.6. Light 115 may go in a clockwise direction along the optical path 114 which makes direction changes at two corners 108 due to mirrors 110, respectively, and corner 102 due to mirror 107. Since mirror 107 may be semitransparent, some light 115 may go through mirror 107, portion 105, interface 111 and portion 109 to detector 114 for amplitude measurement. The amount of amplitude of the returning light 115 at detector 114 may be indicative of a certain gas in the cavity, particularly such as after the light entering cavity from conveyance or fiber 101 ceases. A decrease of the amplitude of light 115 may be regarded as a ring-down or decay of the light 115 in the ring-like path 114 of cavity 103. Conveyance mechanism or fiber 101 may be attached to and/or secured into its perpendicular position relative to surface 113 with a fastener, epoxy 117, or the like. In the present specification, some of the matter may be of a hypothetical or prophetic nature although stated in another manner or tense. Although the invention has been described with respect to at least one illustrative example, many variations and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the present specification. It is therefore the intention that the appended claims be interpreted as broadly as possible in view of the prior art to include all such variations and modifications. Patent Citations

Patience needed to get Michael Schumacher out of his induced coma: Doctors
Published on Jan 31, 2014 7:27 PM
PARIS (AFP) - Emerging from an extended, drug-induced coma, like the one Michael Schumacher was placed in after a ski accident, could take several days or not happen at all, medical experts say.
Doctors started on Thursday to try and coax the Formula One legend out of an artificial deep sleep he was placed in after a near-fatal ski fall in December.
After a progressive reduction of the sedative dose, it can take several more days for the last drug traces in a patient's system to disappear, according to Gerard Audibert, a neurosurgeon at the University Hospital in Nancy, eastern France.
"There is a grey zone (between wake and sleep) that lasts several days, but it varies from one patient to another," he told AFP.

31 Days of Horror: Silver Bullet (1985)
31 Days of Horror By Kevin Carr on October 2, 2012 | Comments (1)They said it couldn't be done. A fifth year of 31 Days of Horror? 31 more terror, gore and shower scene-filled movies worth highlighting? But Rejects always say die and never back away from a challenge (unless you count that time Jack Giroux was challenged to prove that hairy palms don't come from excessive masturbation), so we've rounded up the horror fans among us and put together another month's worth of genre fun. Enjoy! Synopsis: Written by Stephen King at the height of his fame, Silver Bullet tells the story of mysterious and violent deaths happening in the small Maine town of Tarker's Mill. At first, they are dismissed as accidents, but soon people suspect a killer is on the loose. Young paraplegic Marty Coslow (Corey Haim) and his older sister Jane (Megan Follows) uncover some evidence that leads them to believe that the killer is actually a werewolf. Marty and Jane try to convince their wayward uncle Red (Gary Busey) that not only is the killer a literal monster but the werewolf has now targeted them because they know the secret.
Movies to See Before the World Ends: Quest For Fire

From now until zero date, we will explore the 50 films you need to watch before the entire world perishes. We don't have much time, so be content, be prepared, be entertained. The Film: Quest For Fire (1981) The Plot: 80,000 years ago in the time of the neanderthal one of the most precious commodities was fire. It served to cook food, keep warm, and ownership of fire by a tribe of human ancestors was a sign of power – because at that time it was not understood as to how it could be manufactured. When one such tribe gets brutally attacked by another group they lose their flame in the aftermath. Three of the group's males (Nicholas Kadi, Everett McGill, and Ron Perlman in his first film role) break from the tribe and trek the land in search of another flame, and on their journey encounter groups of similar beings; some of which are as brutal as the creatures that attacked them earlier, and others more 'strange' to their current level of understanding.

Encyclopædia Dramatica (often abbreviated to just "ED") was a satirical open wiki that used MediaWiki software. Launched on December 10, 2004, it lampooned both encyclopedic topics and current events, especially those related to or relevant to Internet culture. It was frequently utilized by a socially fluid and dynamic Internet subculture known as Anonymous. The site celebrated a subversive "trolling culture", having documented significant incidents of underground internet events such as mass organized pranks (trolling events they termed as "raids"), large scale failures of the Internet infrastructure and security, and criticism of some more conservative Internet communities they accused of self-censoring their own content in order to garner prestige, positive coverage and commentary from traditional and established media outlets. Wired described Encyclopædia Dramatica as a "vast parallel universe of Anonymous in-jokes, catchphrases, and obsessions is lovingly annotated, and you will discover an elaborate trolling culture: Flamingly racist and misogynist content lurks throughout, all of it calculated to offend". Ninemsn described Encyclopædia Dramatica as: "Wikipedia's evil twin. It's a site where almost every article is biased, offensive, unsourced, and without the faintest trace of political correctness. A search through its archives will reveal animated images of people committing suicide, articles glorifying extreme racism and sexism, and a seemingly endless supply of twisted, shocking views on just about every major human tragedy in history."
The original site shut down without warning on April 16, 2011, and relaunched itself as Oh Internet, leading to criticism from parts of the ED community.
Whilst Oh Internet mysteriously disappeared in 2013, ED relaunched officially on * encyclopediadramatica.se under new management.
It has switched TLDs often, starting with the Swiss .ch, then to the Swedish .se, then to Spain's .es, and then back to the Sweden's .se.

An unofficial backup of the pages on encyclopediadramatica.se can be downloaded from http://www.multiupload.com/T7IO7EK1BW :
The file is a tar archive compressed with `xz(1)` from 674MB to 39MB. It contains the complete revisions of each page in MediaWiki XML format, so should be importable into a new MediaWiki installation. It contains metadata for all of the images, also in XML format. The images themselves are packaged separately--see below.
Every full-size (i.e. excluding thumbnails) image has been saved under its SHA1 hex digest. There are over 10GB of image files in total so they have been split over 16 archives, organised by the first character of their filename. Each archive also contains metadata for all of the images which allows mapping the SHA1 digest to their original filename. As above, the archives are in .tar.xz format.

The Texas Department of Transportation invited local El Paso residents to a public meeting tonight to discuss the proposed I-10 freeway expansion.
The meeting was held at Del Valle Elementary School to give people a chance to share their thoughts and concerns about the project. The Transportation Department wants to widen the freeway by adding an additional lane in each direction of I-10 between Viscount Boulevard and Zaragosa Road. Transportation officials say the main purpose of this project is to increase traffic capacity and reduce congestion on the road.
This I-10 Operational Improvements Project will cost approximately $9 million dollars. Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2013 and end in the year 2015.
If you're interested in this project and would like to voice your opinion, the Texas Department of Transportation encourages you to email them. The comments will be taken into account when moving forward with the initiative. The deadline to email the Department is October 13th.

I was mucking around with Garageband and my guitar and ended up with this.
Let me know what you think!
That's great! I could definitely see them using it at some point. It'd be a nice smooth way to start off the podcast.
Needs an extra-long keyboard solo.
Just kidding, I like it. :p
Sounds pretty solid for garageband, but I suppose that's because you used an actual guitar
I really like it. But I think the guitar could be a little louder, it sound a bit muffled. But I really hope they end up using it, at least for one episode.
I agree. Very great jazzy tunes, which I like a lot, but the lead guitar sounds a bit too muffled to my tastes. Like it's a lower bit rate track, but that might have been your goal from the start?
@geekdown: The guitar isn't supposed to be upfront in this style of jazz.
Personally, I think it sounds great. I'd love to hear what @maddenedman could do with a slightly livelier jazz piece of the theme song, maybe get a little bit more freestyle jazz with it...some saxophone in there, and a couple of snaps on that snare drum.
@geekdown: It would be awesome if they used it for the Bombcast.
Thanks duders!
@captain_clayman: I was pretty happy with the sound too. I think it was due to a new USB sound box I have my guitar plugged directly into.

Swedish electro duo Niki and the Dove shoots for a natural feeling
There are many locales that the Stockholm-spawned Malin Dahlström and Gustaf Karlöf are thrilled about the prospect of seeing on their upcoming North American tour, with San Francisco and the coast of British Columbia at the top of their list. And then there are places they'd completely die to visit, even though they don't know it. Take, for example, the town of Wilmington, North Carolina.
In a conference call from Sweden, both acknowledge that Wilmington isn't a scheduled stop; the closest the band will get is Chapel Hill. Furthermore, the coastal town of 106,000 draws a complete blank for the duo officially known as Niki and the Dove, the breakout Swedish electro-pop act behind this year's Top 10–worthy debut Instinct. Casually mention, however, that Wilmington served as the backdrop to David Lynch's brilliant cult film Blue Velvet, and it's a tossup as to which one of them gets more excited.
"Really?" Dahlström almost squeals. "Wait, I have to write this place down! That's one of our favourite movies of all time. Oh, my God, it's a piece of art—every single scene, you could just take a still and the composition is absolutely incredible. I love it!"
Karlöf is quick to add his own fanboy accolades. "When we watched it one time we did an experiment where we paused the picture, just randomly. And every paused picture you could hang on your wall because it was so beautiful."
And what is it that the two members of Niki and the Dove love so much about Blue Velvet, besides the sight of Dennis Hopper strapping on the gas mask in between psychotic endorsements of Pabst Blue Ribbon? Well, that would be the way the movie works on numerous levels at once.
"The beauty of David Lynch," says Karlöf, "is that he's making very dark movies, but there's also an enormous amount of comedy in what he's doing."
Art that operates on different levels is also a good description of Niki and the Dove. Heavily influenced by time spent in rural Sweden, but perfect for a night out clubbing in big urban centres, Instinct is somehow as modern as it is retro. Nature pops up repeatedly in the lyrics, reflecting their love of getting away from the city and out into the middle of nowhere. "The Fox", which is all spy-flick guitars and glitchy trip-hop percussion, comes replete with reference to wooded glades, dark trails, and tall trees. The lush and tribal "Mother Protect" has Dahlström singing "Oh my heart is like an eagle/I love to fall from the sky," while "Last Night" contains the lines: "I didn't want you to wake the lion/That we hushed to sleep."
On the sonic side of things, the analogue-sounding tracks initially seem heavily indebted to the neon-lit '80s. Take the time to immerse yourself in the album, however, and it becomes clear that Karlöf and Dahlström are soaking up influences from all over the musical map, with their songs nodding to classic college rock, club-kid techno, deep house, opiate-addled jazz, fevered soul, coke-party disco, and even baroque classical.
No wonder, then, that over the conversation Karlöf name-checks everyone from Ornette Coleman to Igor Stravinsky. The latter is responsible for one of his all-time favourite quotes, which, funnily enough, is just as relevant to today's iPod Shuffle generation as it was to the high-society dandies of the early 1900s.
"I read something that Stravinsky said, where he said that it was very important to have one foot in tradition and one foot into the future," Karlöf relates. "You almost have to be a messenger for past history, but bringing something for tomorrow. That's a really good way of seeing it."
As beautiful as Instinct is, recording it wasn't all sunshine and fully loaded Volvos for Niki and the Dove. Karlöf and Dahlström are anything but new to each other, the two having met doing sound for theatre productions and then having hooked up in a folk-oriented project called the Dora Steins. The groundwork for Niki and the Dove was laid when they decided to monkey around in the studio together; the sessions went seamlessly and produced the sugar-sparkled, break-of-dawn anthem "DJ Ease My Mind". Working on a full album, however, would prove more taxing.
"Making the record was both wonderful and painstaking," Dahlström suggests. "When you put a lot of effort into something, it's very common, I think, to go through a whole wide range of emotions. At first it's all fun, but after a while you realize that you might not always have the same ideas or same tastes all the time. At first you quarrel, but then you find a method to work through your differences. Our big thing was to make sure that we didn't draw boundaries for ourselves."
And a big part of that was to accept that it's sometimes best not to overthink things.
"Often, we'll sit down and lose complete control over what we are doing," Karlöf notes. "You have to let a song go where it wants to go. We often get the question 'What kind of music do you listen to?' And we answer that we've got a backpack of all the music that we've been listening to since we were 10 years old. Me and Malin have grown up with so many different styles of music—heavy metal, jazz, classical, and pop. You can't get away from your backpack when you write songs."
No doubt, those backpacks will not only come along on Niki and the Dove's upcoming North American tour, but also end up a little more stuffed with everything they soak up. Other than that, Karlöf and Dahlström will be travelling light. At home, they often hit the stage with a live drummer and dancers, creating a multimedia experience. For this swing, audiences will get just the two of them, the prospect of which Niki and the Dove finds exciting.
"It's going to be the first time we've really done it like this—small and intimate as a two-piece," Dahlström notes. "We had a rehearsal the other day, and I liked it very much because it was challenging in that you had to find new ways of performing the songs. I like it because it's forcing us to not be comfortable. It's like we're going to find out what happens now to our dynamic."
Not only that, but it's one hell of a lot easier to make a detour to Wilmington when it's just the two of you.
Niki and the Dove plays Electric Owl on Saturday (September 1).

We're currently using the new season as an excuse to buy new footwear, but we all know that's a farce. It takes little coaxing (or reasoning) for us to drop our credit cards for a shiny new pair of shoes, and we think we just found our latest lust with Brian Atwood's lower-priced line dubbed B by Brian Atwood. The celeb-favorite shoe designer — his heels have been worn by the likes of Rachel Bilson, Olivia Palermo, and Emma Stone, to name a few — just released the collection, ranging from $275 to $995, for preorder online, and we're already eyeing a pair, or two, to add to our Fall wardrobe. Here are our top three picks:

This Asian thriller takes on a few new angles while following in the tradition of noted cult filmmakers.

White House Fails to Persuade Democrats on Libya |

The House is voting today on two measures. One, to authorize the Libya mission for one year while banning ground troops, will fail. The other, to defund the mission (with notable exceptions), is likely to pass. Then the Senate won't take up the defunding bill, and possibly take up the authorization, which has been pushed by John Kerry and John McCain.

Student Loan Reform: Best Progressive Victory of 2010 |
By: Jon Walker Friday December 31, 2010 6:05 am |
Looking back on the year, I believe that the best victory for progressives was student loan reform, which was passed as part of the reconciliation measure. While not as large in scale as some of the bills passed by this Congress, it still was a substantial measure that ends over $60 billion in government waste. I'm proud of the role FDL played when our "Students, Not Banks" campaign helped make sure uncompromised student loan reform was passed this year. Looking back at the year, I wish progressives had been given the chance to have more clear fights like this one.

That bill paid for increases to the federal school lunch program with food stamp cuts, essentially cutting a child's dinner to pay for their lunch.

Emma Watson May Have Struck Relationship Gold With Matthew Janney
Everyone's in agreement that Emma Watson's new boyfriend, William Janney is dishy as all getout. The Oxford student reportedly met Watson while she attended the university through an exchange program in October 2011.
"We are thrilled to bits that he is seeing Emma Watson," Janney's family told the Evening Standard. "We are looking forward to meeting her soon."
Janney, who plays on Oxford's varsity rugby team, lost both his parents to cancer. His unofficial guardians, Coralie and James Day, raised Janney and his sister after their mother died of breast cancer in 2008 (their father died of cancer when Janney was a toddler).
"After Matt's mum died I became his second mother," Coralie told the paper. "I took him up to Oxford when he started there. I am very proud of him.
"Hats off to her for finding such a wonderful young man. There is nothing bad anyone could say about Matt. He is absolutely lovely."
Janney and Watson went on a Caribbean holiday before Watson presented at last Sunday's Golden Globe Awards.
